Very melodramatic park, not much to see or do.

Lake Manyara was my first safari location, and I think it was great as a "beginner's safari". The wildlife is not amazing, but it was enough to get a nice taste of the experience. The birds were pretty spectacular, and it was definitely a good experience overall, but after traveling to Nairobi Natl Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Masai Mara, the experience at Lake Manyara paled a bit in comparison.

This park is called "Home of tree climbing lions" - never saw any lion in 3 hours trip inside this park.
I've been in mount Kilimanjaro national park. This park is not in the list here.

Probably because of the time of year, not many birds were evident. It was only a superficial stop between Tarangire and the Crater.

The hippo park was the highlight of this park... And, boy, did we see hippos! There were also storks and buzzards. No climbing lions, despite signs.

We were not there at the best season - lake very dried up. In addition it was the last we visited so we were already blasé seeing elephants again. A good number of different monkeys.
